I liked doing the show live in front of a studio audience, which is almost like doing a play where you get immediate feedback, and to the experience of doing a single camera comedy like NEW GIRL where there\u2019s absolutely no feedback, as you\u2019re trying to do comedy, like a comedy feature.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI said it wasn\u2019t my favorite experience although

with my friend, <strong>Rob Reiner<\/strong>, as exes and that was sweet and lovely.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actress and producer concluded, \u201cPlease, let\u2019s not waste
